TRIMETHOBENZAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE

IUPAC Name: N-[[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide;hydrochloride

Symbol: TH

Molecular Formula: C21H29ClN2O5

Molecular weight: 424.9 g/mol

CAS No: 554-92-7

ATC Code: R06AA10

Drug Class: Anti-Emetic

General Properties:

Trimethobenzamide Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of trimethobenzamide, a benzamide derivative with an antiemetic property. Although the mechanism of action is largely unknown, it inhibits the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), an area in the medulla oblongata through which emetic impulses are conveyed to the vomiting center, thereby suppressing nausea and vomiting.

Indication:

Trimethobenzamide is used to treat nausea and vomiting that may occur after surgery or with a certain stomach/intestinal problem (gastroenteritis). Treating vomiting quickly can prevent dehydration. This medication is not recommended for use in children due to risk of serious side effects.
